So, it appears that the Tsarnaev brothers didn't legally own the
firearms that fired 200 rounds at the Police in Friday's gunfight. Tamerlin was denied US citizenship because of a felony assault case so he could not have passed a background check. Dzhokhar met the age and residency requirements but had not applied for a license to buy or taken the safety course.
We can safely assume that they purchased their guns from a private source without a background check and who, if found, cannot be charged with trafficking and punished for selling to a felon.
If your Senator was one of those who blocked gun legislation please drop them an email and phone them to point this out to them.
Aaaaand, if they were denied a purchase by a private citizen you would be calling them racists!! Incorrectly but you would still be calling them that.
None of that really matters anyway DUmtard because criminals are always going to get what they want and it won't matter how many laws you make.
Here's a fun exchange;

21. A crime that cannot be detected until someone dies. Full background checks with serious
penalties for not doing one will help.
I am really ****ing tired of all the bitching about enforcing unenforceable laws. So .... let's pass some more laws we won't/can't enforce ... right?

25. Thanks for that. Uselessly pointing out that a crime was committed after a crime was
committed is not conducive to conversation. Particularly when the gun lobby writes laws for the legislature to pass that are intentionally unenforceable.
I wish the 'gun lobby' were writing the laws! At least we would have someone that knows what the hell they're talking about writing them!
There's more but I don't have time to grab it.
